A bit of fund raising and summer fun!

June 26, 2010 – 12:26 am

Hello folks/friends/readers/bloggers/guests,
I have 2 social websites running under the Ning platform (social websites-CMS) which will not be free after 20th July. So here’s an extreme blog (or fund raising blog) to help me continue to maintain my Ning sites (both non profit making).
All enquiries are warmly welcome.
Get a T-shirt printed with your favourite quotes/graphics/slogan/logo etc. […]

Internet Sovereignty

June 9, 2010 – 5:38 pm

My time in China is nearly drawing to a close… time for me to leave Beijing. Leaving Beijing does not mean my special interests in ‘most things Chinese’ will cease. I adore ‘most things Chinese’ and the past months of living in Beijing have stretched not only my mandarin learning capability but also my ability […]

price discovery and ghosts

May 11, 2010 – 10:16 am

I am just about to dash out to do some ‘price discovery’ or price investigation of camera (aiming for an SLR) in the Zhongguancun shopping mall. Simply can’t resist posting the link to the Bloomberg Businessweek article -
‘Ghosts Scared Bear Stearns, Lehman to Death: Susan Antilla‘.
Gosh! not ‘act of god’ but ghosts.. Ingenuous or ingenious […]

social networking

April 26, 2010 – 7:18 pm

Just for my own reckoning, my Ning sites (as listed under this blog) will most likely disappear from online or hidden behind the cloud(s) of Ning after the 4th of May. Ning is changing their policy on free social networking.
Should I explore other free social networking CMS?
Mmm..Will see.

A reckoning with reality

April 26, 2010 – 7:03 pm

Is there such a thing as ‘reality’? I guess the answer depends on where one draws a line or whether a line can indeed be distinguished and/or drawn.
Can we really distinguish and be able to categorise data into neat buckets (or cells, columns, rows, stacks etc.)? Answer depends on who is distinguishing the data […]

Code Words in E-mail

March 27, 2010 – 3:27 pm

An interesting read, Sorting Out Email: How SEC Decoded Insider Trading Ring.
The smart being out-smarted by code and decoded words.
Does this mean potatoes are the next new currency?

Coming from the IBA

March 27, 2010 – 2:28 pm

Recent developments coming from the International Bar Association (IBA) which I find worth noting are the ‘Draft revised IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration’ and the ‘IBA Guidelines for Drafting International Arbitration Clauses’. For folks familiar with the IBA website, the pdf versions may be located via their search tool.

Just for my own record

March 9, 2010 – 12:33 am

According to my web hoster, this site/blog will be moving to a new high performance server in the next 24 hours.
Such is life in the data world - inconveniences for a faster (& safer?) access?

Is my data everybody’s business?

March 9, 2010 – 12:22 am

For the past weeks I have the ‘freedom’ to explore my websites, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. You see, I have been out of the online social scenes since last September when I left UK for Beijing. Came back to UK just to sort personal stuff and see my kids before I leave for Beijing again.
Sitting […]

An EU amendment to the Flow of Personal Data from Controller to Processor

February 19, 2010 – 12:19 pm

I am currently hopping around London and elsewhere too.
So a quick post on what’s new in the Data scene. Check out the ICC’s site on news coming from the European Commission on changes to the Standard Contractual Clauses.
